Happy Thanksgiving Dolls!

  

It's Thanksgiving week, Like you I'm busy beyond belief. Everything will get done on time with my sanity intact as long as I can get my workouts in. So I'd like to provide a little inspiration! I'm a list maker...so my workouts get on that list of tasks to accomplish every day. Try it, you know you like to cross off the DONE. My Go Big workouts are the perfect way to kick it, especially when time is limited.

1.Moving Inch worm w/ push-up 10 forward & 10 backward
   25 Deadlifts w/ Shoulder press 5/10 lb weights
   25 Frog Jumps 

2.30 second work - 10 second rest

   Sumo squat w/ jump
   Mt. Climbers

We are skipping the zillion calorie meal this year for a Low Country Boil...Yummy, healthy, and really quick! Don't think that we do this all the time, but I try !!!!




One tradition that never gets ignored is some bubbly with my kids as we start the h'orderves! This year it's mini crab cakes, sausage stuffed mushrooms, and mini mac and cheese spinach bites..





Another tradition is Red Velvet Cake, my Grandmother always made a 3 layer cake, I've changed to cup cakes...Still Delicious.... my mini pumpkin cheese cakes and ginger snaps have been requested.

So the pictures of all the good food should be inspiration enough to get your butt in gear! I'll be starting my Thanksgiving day by kicking mine and mini me's butt before the festivities begin....So I will be thinking of you all and wishing you and yours a wonderful day to be together and count all the many blessing in your life!   xoxo
